SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deep security review patterns for Convex applications to ensure authorization correctness, data access boundaries, action isolation, rate limiting, and protection of sensitive operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides structured patterns for authorization logic, data access boundaries, action isolation, rate limiting, and sensitive operation protections.
  • Includes example implementations like role-based access checks, ownership verification, and robust audit trails.
  • Use case: Before deploying Convex apps to production, run this Skill to validate security controls and generate a risk-reduction plan.

Quick Start

Run a baseline security audit of your Convex app to identify misconfigurations and enforce best-practice controls.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit authorization and data access boundaries in my Convex app?

To audit authorization in a Convex app, review function permissions, enforce RBAC checks, verify data ownership, and review external API interactions to identify data access boundary gaps before production deployment.

How do I implement role-based access control and rate limiting in Convex functions?

Implement RBAC and rate limiting in Convex by applying structured permission checks and request throttling patterns directly within your functions to protect sensitive operations from unauthorized or excessive access.

What is the best way to secure sensitive operations and external API calls in Convex?

The best way to secure sensitive Convex operations is by isolating actions, validating external API interactions, and implementing robust audit trails to monitor and control execution of high-risk workflows.

Can I run a security audit on my Convex data models and actions before deploying to production?

Yes, you can run a pre-deployment security audit on Convex data models and actions to detect misconfigurations, validate security controls, and generate a risk-reduction plan for your production workflows.

How does ownership validation work for Convex data access?

Ownership validation for Convex data access works by verifying that the authenticated user has explicit permission to interact with specific data records before executing queries or mutations.

Why do I need audit logging for Convex actions and external API interactions?

Audit logging for Convex actions is needed to maintain a robust audit trail of sensitive operations and external API calls, which ensures traceability and accountability for security reviews and incident response.
